A Prohibitionist,s Confession,

The Albany journal Republican, pub
fishes, under the above caption, the follow
ing editorial:
The manly attitude Of the New York
Republican State Convention on the tenn
perance question, and the position leading
Republican newspapers are taking against
the saloon power following upon the
commendable temperance legislation last
winter, has had its natural effect.
The real friends of temperance are leav-
ing the Prohibition party and returning
to the Republican fold, ready to lend
their aid where it can be best utilized.
The Hon. L. w. Fiske, one of the
stanchest Prohibitionists of the State,
writes letter to the Lowville Journal
formally announcing his return to the
Republican party. He gives as his rea-
sons his friendship for the veterans who
have been so grossly insulted by President
Cleveland, and his belief that at the ratio
of increase of the Prohibition vote it will
take 1t much longer to succeed in its work
of needed reform than if it united with the
predominant temperance element in the
Republican party. He says he has discov-
cred that the only hope of success of the
Prohibition party is ito destroy the Repub-
lican party and build on its ruins, and that
the same material of the old are to be used to
build the new Therefore there is nc
use to go to this trouble and expense when
the old structure is broad and deep and
high enough to hold every man whose
conceit is not so great that he cannot sub
NIT to a majority who are as good as he.'
These are manly and truthful words. They
touch the very heart of the matter.

Cross-Bred Wheat.

The Mark Lane Express and agricultural
Journal London, England, has the follow
ing:
We gave last year detailed account of
the experiments which are being so ably
carried out by c. A. Sharman for James
Carter and Co.. seedsmen, OF High Holborn,
at the nurseries, Forest Hill, Kent, and
this season we had an opportunity of visit
ing these trial grounds at time when the
wheats were green, or just beginning to
turn yellow, so that all their peculiarities
of growth could be easily noted. We are
not now able 10 enter again into detail,
but we were greatly impressed-as on the
former occasion-with the practical utility
which must accrue from the careful work
Mr. Sharman is doing. The cross-bred
wheats sometimes show the distinctive

How Girls Sit Down.

The variety of complicated chairs in
the theaters make it matter of concern
to get safely seated. To women the prob
lem is rendered further difficult by bustles.
a Sun reporter watched two girls as they
took places in front of him. If you have
ever seen pet dog curl himself up for a
nap near the fireplace you have a fair
idea of how these girls got into their seats
They added to the dogs maneuvers the
sinuous grace of the cat, who nestles down
for the same purpose. The dog, you re-
member, takes good look at the vicinity
and selects the spot where he will lie. He
scans it closely, and, keeping his eye upon
it, turns clear around. Then he turns
around again, and as the revolution con-
tinues he gradually settles down, and down,
and down, until at the end of perhaps the
fourth round he is on the floor, his tail
CURED up in front of him, his paws
stretched out and his nose upon them. 1t
takes nice calculation on the dogs part to
get down as he desires. The girls having
found their places with reason
able directness, looked at them care
fully and turned round. They could
not well twist their necks about, as the dog
does, to see that they do not escape their
mark, but they settle slowly, with an un-
dulatory motion, after the manner of the
cat. That great tournure, you know. is
elastic As well as rigid, and it only needs
that it shall be crushed in the right way
for it to resume its original form without
accident when the pressure is released :;
but if a sideways pressure is exerted upon
1t 1t becomes critical moment for the
dress. Now, it does not follow that n GIRL
can sit directly down upon the tournure
with safety to it. 1t is a recalcitrant crea-
ton, and resents being driven. 1t may be
coaxed, but an attempt to subdue it at one
fell swoop is likely to end disastrously, for
1t will slip away to one side, and then, if
1t is not hopelessly out of place, the wearer
will have to begin all over again. So the
girls had to come down slowly, waving
their bodies from side to side, bringing
pressure to bear upon. the tournure gently,
and finally insinuating themselves into
their chairs when the hustle wasn't think

sirable characters must necessarily require
years of careful selection. This result,
however, in several marked instances, has
already been attained by the unremitting
application which Mr.. Sharman has given
to the work for years past, and we saw
many wheats which we thought gave great
promise of success on various descriptions
of soils. Crosses between Hunters White,
Imperial White, Fill Measure, and other
white wheats, with Royal Prize, or some
other red wheat, have been very successful,
and pains have been taken to improve
Talavera, a wheat much employed for
spring sowing, but extremely liable to
blight, owing to late ripening The crosses
are found to ripen fortnight earlier than
Talavera, and another defect of the latter
has been removed, namely, that
of thin ears, those of two or
three Of the improved Talaveras
being a great deal more close-chested,
promising a heavier yield. In some cases
the straw has been heightened and
strengthened; whilst in others it has been
shortened; in like manner the ears of
some of the crosses are greatly altered in
| character. Our great object has been to
| make most of the wheats earlier, and in
this respect the results have been very
satisfactory. The impression conveyed
by our inspection last year have been con-
firmed this season, and as we then pointed
! out, the broad feature observable in con-
nection with these cross-bred wheats is
that they are in nearly every case stronger
in plant, larger and fuller in ear, and
earlier to maturity than the parent stocks.
New vigor appears to have been infused by
the crossing; fertility is increased and
constitution strengthened. We an
ticipate that when some of these wheats
are fried in foreign countries, particularly
in the United States, Canada and New
Zealand, they will be found very useful
A Reuters telegram from Ottawa says:
"The Canadian Department of Agriculture
is beginning to receive letters from the
farmers in the Northwest showing that the
Russian wheat imported last spring and
sown has been great success, taking only
three months to mature, and proving good
hard wheat of full berry. The farmers
say that the success of this experiment
settles the question of the value of the
Northwest Territory, as the grain natures

such results as these that Mr.. Sharmans
